Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
FREGATA (3) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Kentucky (Turf) over 1609m last time, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Has the ability to figure prominently. ZERO ABSOLUTE (11) is back after a break of nine weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished 11th over 1710m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf). Set for a bold return. HEITZGIRL (8) finished second last start over 1006m at this track (Turf), beaten 3 lengths. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. GOOD CONDUCT (10) was prominent at the corner and finished third last start over 1106m at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf), beaten 1.75 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot. Something for the Multiples: C V HOLLY (15)

At the latest run didn't do much in the run home; ran last of 7 at this track on September 22 over 1006m, 6 len behind Sugar Doll with 51.5kg at $5.50. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at this track on August 27 over 1006m, 1.75 len behind Elite carrying 51.5kg at $4.90. Nice alley and worth including.
